I have to agree...why else would Voldy think he had to kill Harry 
when he was just a baby? Strictly IMHO...back when he went to 
Godric's Hollow to kill the Potters, one of the reasons he did it was 
because he had a vision of the future in which Harry would ultimately 
destroy him unless he (Voldy) got rid of Harry first. So far Voldy 
has tried four times (counting Tom Riddle)amd Harry was triumphed 
each time even without the vast knowledge and power that Voldy has. 
Indeed Harry wins by instinct, without really knowing what he is 
doing. Yeah, a lot of that is luck...but his own goodness, and the 
legacy of goodness from his parents, make for some strong magic.

Speaking of strong magic, someone mentioned on a recent post, the 
part in GoF with Dumbledore's reaction to Harry's blood being in the 
new and *improved* Voldy. I was also taken back at first upon reading 
that (wondered about Dumbledore!) but then thought---maybe using 
Harry's blood is what will make Voldy more mortal and thus more 
vulnerable---and Harry will actually be able to defeat him even 
better. (If this has been discussed before, sorry!)

Anyway, from Dumbledore's reaction this could be ancient magic that 
Dumbledore is aware of even if Voldy himself is not. We've seen how 
Voldy doesn't know everything. Harry continues to surprise him. 
(dontcha love the Priori Incantatem chapter!)
